Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Endpoint:
boiling point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2012
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study with acceptable restrictions
Remarks:
The study was conducted according to an internationally recognised method. The substance is considered to be adequately characterised with its isomers composition. Therefore validation applies, with minor restrictions due to heating rate (accuracy).
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 103 (Boiling point/boiling range)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
heating rate slightly exceed maximum of 1K/min as recommended
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.2 (Boiling Temperature)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
heating rate slightly exceed maximum of 1K/min as recommended
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
method according to Siwoloboff
Key result
Boiling pt.:
588 K
Atm. press.:
97.7 kPa
Decomposition:
no
Remarks on result:
other: =315°C; accuracy +/-2K

Beginning of measurement 580 561 567
Bubbles were emerged from the capillary 594 588 588
Atmospheric pressure (kPa) 97.7 97.7 97.7

Both determinations are within the limits of accuracy, therefore the average value is retained.

Executive summary:

The boiling point of the test substance was determined according to OECD 103/EU A2 guideline, Siwoloboff (capillary) method. Two main runs were performed, and the mean value was retained. The measured boiling point was 315°C under 97.7 kPa.

Beginning of measurement 558 570 565
Bubbles were emerged from the capillary undefined, unstable 593 597
Atmospheric pressure (kPa) 97.7 97.7 97.7

Both determinations are within the limits of accuracy, therefore the average value is retained.

Executive summary:

The boiling point of the test substance was determined according to OECD 103/EU A2 guideline, Siwoloboff (capillary) method. Two main runs were performed, and the mean value was retained. The measured boiling point was 322°C under 97.7 kPa.

Description of key information

Boiling starts between 315 and 322°C (under normal Patm), depending on composition.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Boiling point at 101 325 Pa:
318 °C

Additional information

Two reliable experimental studies, conducted according to a recognized OECD/EC method, are available. Despite minor restriction due to heating rate (accuracy), both are considered as key studies, as relating to two different compositions. The mean result is retained as key data.
